This is a work that evolves just as nature does, starting out quiet and simple,

environment that denotes havoc and imbalance often enough, but ultimately
achieves a homeostasis in which even the turmoil is beautiful in contextual

roundabouts. And you can find it all, as in the title piece ballad like impressionism to
quiet tenderness. Frithjof Strauß, Jazz Podium
